Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the PixarLogDecode function in libtiff.so in the PixarLogDecode function in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier, as used in GNOME nautilus, allows attackers to cause a denial of service attack (crash) via a crafted TIFF file.

Desbordamiento de búfer en la función PixarLogDecode en libtiff.so en la función PixarLogDecode en libtiff 4.0.6 y versiones anteriores, como se utiliza en GNOME nautilus, permite a atacantes provocar un ataque de denegación de servicio (caída) a través de un archivo TIFF manipulado.

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
